The irony of our love story is that somehow we’re both the “one who got away” for each other
*
I hear us in his songs
And he died when he couldn’t get her
If I’m him, then I’ll get you
Or die trying
*
If your voice is my favorite music
Then “I love you” is my favorite song.
Only your moans of pleasure come close;
A song of ecstasy
*
The only thing I’ve learned this year
Is that I’m not meant to have what I want
*
I’ve stopped looking for the perfect answer
It didn’t exist.
Instead of what sounds right
I’ll now choose what feels right
-_-_
There are many things that I love
But you are my Love.
I don’t know where my path is
So I’m following your dove.
I don’t know where you’re going,
But I decided where I am.
My destination is you
And getting there is still my plan.
-_-_
The last time I felt like this
Was when she left forever
I know what’s coming
So just rip off the bandage
You’re not going to choose me
And you’re probably right
You deserve better
Someone who can keep on the lights
-_-_
I’ve finally decided:
I’m going to marry you.
Maybe today, maybe tomorrow
Or maybe even a humdred years from now
But even a hundred years may not work
Maybe this life can’t have “we”
But that won’t stop me
I’ll live a thousand lives until I reach you
-_-_
Concentric Circles
I’m at the end of the circle
The final song is coming
I experienced love again
And I can’t experience life without it again
I won’t go away
Not completely
My son will inherit
The Process
He is his own person
But you may not even notice
If you’re not paying
Close enough attention
He has his own wants
His own aspirations
His own beliefs
His own Love
But I have a secret for him
I know who his Love will be
The same as mine:
Her
The circle keeps going round and round
The same beats but different rhythms.
The same story but different characters
The same feelings but different pictures
But there’s one constant:
Her.
How many of my lifetimes has she been in?
And she’s had our heart in every one
